There's a plane and I am flying
|
There's a mountain waiting for me
|
Oh these years have been so trying
|
|
I don't know if I can use them
|
Am I strong enough
|
To be the one?
|
Will I live to have some children?
|
|
[x2]
|
Help me get down,
|
I can make it,
|
Help me get down
|
|
If I only knew the answer
|
I wouldn't be bothering you, father
|
|
[x2]
|
Help me get down
|
I can make it
|
Help me get down
|
|
If I only knew the answer
|
And If all our days are numbered
|
Then why do I keep counting
|
|
My sugar sweet is so attainable
|
This behaviour so unexplainable
|
The days just slip and slide
|
Like they always did
|
The trouble is my head
|
Won't let me forget
|
|
I took one last good look around
|
So many unusual sounds
|
I gotta get my feet on the ground
|
|
Help me get down,
|
I can make it (ohhhhh...)
|
Help me get down,
|
I can make it, help me get down
|
Help me get down
|
I can make it, help me get down
|
If I only knew the answer...
|
I wouldn't be bothering you, father,
|
Help me get down
|
I can make it, help me get down
|
Help me get down
|
I can make it, help me get down
|
If I only knew the answer...
|
And if all our days are numbered,
|
Would you help me get down? (I can make it, help me get down)
|
(Help me get down)
|
(I can make it, help me get down)
|
If I only knew the answer...
|
|
If I change my way of living
|
And If I pave my streets with good times
|
Will the mountain keep on giving
|
|
And if all of our days are numbered
|
Then why do I keep counting
|
